A few pictures...

This is just gonna be a quick post of a few pictures to share with my Dad! I will post blogs and pictures about the weekend later!

WISH YOU WERE HERE DADDY!!!!!

Once again...

We woke up to another cold, snowy day here in Colorado! The mountains are absolutely beautiful!! Armando is at work, I'm home cleaning, getting everything ready for my family to come into town on Friday! I made some Cheesy chicken noodles in the slow cooker for a quick warm lunch for Armando, put some pictures in albums, and am about to wash some clothes and just try to stay warm! Most of you will probably remember the headboard I talked about Armando and I making.... well, we finished it and I finally have pictures to share! We love it! I think it turned out great!!

I also got to spend some time talking to my Grandmother this morning! It always makes me feel good to hear her voice! You all know I'm a "Ma's, Girl!!"

Well, I have lots of planning to do! Just wanted to give a quick update, and post pictures of our headboard! Hope you all are doing well and have a great week!

Love you all!!

What a Weekend!!!!

Friday afternoon Armando came in from a day at the Range and he was sick! He seemed like he was getting a cold so he laid down and slept pretty much all night! We got up Saturday morning and he was still sick! I could feel the heat from his body from the fever he had! Saturday afternoon I finally talked him into going to the Emergency Room! They put us in masks and everthing just incase it was H1N1. Thankfully, it wasn't but Armando did have the flu! They gave him lots of medicine, and thankfully he got lots of rest, and is starting to feel better! Monday, was Armando's appointment with a new doctor about his shoulder! This doctor said Armando definetly needed surgery! He will be having surgery on Dec. 4th! We're nervous about that, but hoping that it's what he needs to be better! Dr. Schumer, seemed great! He said that it was a bad surgery, and he would probably go in 5 different places! We hated to do it in December but that was the earliest possible time! During all of this, I apparently got food poisoning!!! I feel better though!

My Mom, Aunt Judy, and Tammy Jo are coming into town this Friday! We are super excited and cannot wait to pick them up at the airport! I definetly am looking forward to seeing my Mom!!! It's been way too long! I'm so happy she's gonna be able to see where we live now!

Armando went back to work today, I'm about to do some cleaning and start planning our weekend! I will write more later, and definetly be posting pictures this weekend!!!!

Lots of love!!!

The big freeze! :)

What a weekend, Friday afternoon we carved pumpkins and had dinner with friends! As we were enjoying company in our toasty apartment the temperature changed drastically! We woke up Saturday morning to everything iced over and 22 degree weather! The high on Saturday only reached 24, and that night the low got all the way down to 16!!!!!!! Early Saturday morning their was a 50 car pile up on I-25! They put the city under a Traffic warning, and the accidents continued to happen throught the day/night and their have been even more this morning! Our friends the Bazans got out to go get dinner and wrecked also! They are all okay, Thank God, but are feeling very sore this morning! Armando and I stayed inside all day, but got out last night to take Lupe to work right down the street since their truck is messed up. We didn't want him to walk in the cold weather! We slid a little but made it there safely and back home! Looks like we are definetly gonna have to look into getting something with 4-wheel drive! We took a few pictures, it's weird going out and seeing our pumpkin covered in ice! We are starting to get concerned about the winter that lies ahead! Looks like we're gonna be in for some crazy weather!

Oh, before I forget, Friday morning we went to the zoo. We had a good time, but I wasn't impressed at all! The zoo smelled terrible! Seems like the "upkeep" doesn't even exsist! None the less we just had a good time together! We saw 7 big bucks on the way home! They were just standing around in the road and along the side! Still haven't seen a bear but we're on the lookout! ;) Hope you guys enjoy eeing the pictures!

Love you all very much!

Our first Colorado Snow!

Although it wasn't a big one when it comes to accumulation, we experienced our first snow here! It was beyond beautiful seeing the flakes falling. The flakes were unlike we had ever seen before! They were huge! We went to Starbucks then to Michales ( a craft store) and when we came out the snow was pouring down! We were super excited! There is snow and ice on the cars and some on the rooftops and grass but not much! None the less, we loved seeing it and look forward to our first big snow! The weather forcast for Saturday is a high of 28 and a low of 17. They are also giving snow and freezing drizzle! It's cold enough already!! I can't imagine it not getting over 28! Its a rare thing to even get down to 28 in Mississippi! This winter is definetly going to be a huge change for us! We look forward to seeing what it brings!

While we were out shopping, we bought some craft pumpkins we are going to carve tonight, as well as some Halloween decorations! Our first Halloween together we were on our Honeymoon, and of course last year Armando was deployed so we look forward to decorating together and hopefully have some kids Trick or Treat us! Some of our friends are coming over tonight and we are all gonna carve pumpkins together so that should be fun!

Armando has a 4 day this weekend, not sure what all we are gonna do, but I'm just excited to have him home for 4 days with me! Who knows, maybe we will build our first fire!!! That would be exciting!

We hope everyone is doing good. We miss all of you and hope to see you all soon!

Love,

Jenny

A quick update...

Armando and I had a good week. It flew by as usual. He went to the doctor for a check up on Thursday and they decided to remove the cysts on his head. We went back that afternoon and they removed 2 of them which took 12 staples to close them up! He's doing fine, Tylenol pretty much keeps him from hurting too bad, which is good we were afraid it would be worse. They sent off the tissue to have it examined just to make sure it isn't anything to be concerned about!

I woke up yesterday with a terrible ear infection, so we are just going to take it easy this weekend and try to stay out of the cold weather! It's very chilly and windy here! There was more snow on Pike's Peak this morning when we woke up which is always a beautiful site to see!

On a brighter note, Armando was promoted to Chief this week! He deserved it, so I am proud of him! He has a big heart when it comes to lots of things but especially the guys he works with! I know he will do a great a job with his new section!

This month on the 29th Armando and I will celebrate our 2 year anniversary! It's unbelievable to know that we have been married 2 years already! I feel so blessed! This will be the first anniversary we get to spend together as most of you know our first anniversary he was in Iraq! We are excited to be able to spend it together and celebrate our marriage!

My mom and some of my family are supposed to come out and visit later this month! I hope they are able to make it out! I am super excited for my Mother to see where we live!

We will write more later! Love you all!!!

Finally...we have service!!!

Yesterday, Armando and I finally switched phone service providers! We now are using Verizon Wireless. We hated to switch from AT&T since all of our family use it, but we had to as we have little to no service here in most places. So far so good! They give you 30 days to try it out so if you dont like it, you can cancel without breech of contract! Hopefully we wont have any trouble!

Armando went to the range again yesterday. He did fine but at one point the vest hurt his shoulder very bad. He's gonna try to get back to the doctor today and let him know how bad the vest hurt him. He has a Physical Therapy appointment on October 16th. That's the soonest they said they can see him. We're just taking it one day at a time, praying that the right thing will be done!

I played a instant win sweepstakes over the weekend and won a Complete Deckboard Set! ARV 150.00 I had no clue what it was, but apparently it has something to do with skateboarding! lol Guess we will just sell it on Ebay! It was exciting to win though!

Also, yesterday I cleaned the entire extra bedroom!!!! I was so tired last night after moving all of those extremely heavy Tuff boxes that Armando stores all of his Military gear in and stacking them on top of each other in the walk in closet! I am sore today! It's okay though I knew if I didn't move them Armando would and thats the last thing I want with his shoulders being hurt!

The weather here is beautiful today it's in the 80's but with a very strong wind that feels great! Tomorrow the high is low 50's and the low is supposed to get below freezing!!! Its a good day for the workers here, our parking lot is being paved today! They are doing it in sections, ours was done yesterday and it looks so much nicer!

Well everyone, I don't know much I'm just rambling so I'm gonna get going and wash a load of clothes and try to plan dinner! Oh and I'm gonna finish my project today! I'll write more later!

We love all of you!
